Dr. Henry Algera is a graduate of the University of Winnipeg (BA in French; BEd. in secondary education), Providence Theological Seminary (MA in student development) and Seattle Pacific University (EdD in curriculum and instruction). His K–12 teaching experience has included public, private, and international school contexts.

Dr. Algera currently directs the Alternative Routes to Teacher Certification (ARC) program, which has developed a reputation for being a rigorous, intensive, and rewarding pathway to teacher certification. His primary teaching responsibilities include introductory and capstone courses in the ARC program.

Dr. Algera’s present research focus is a field project to develop a Christian high school based on a 1-1 learning design. This is, in part, made possible by reconfiguring the traditional understanding of a secondary high school education to adopt a 21st century teaching and learning model that includes project-based learning, competency-based assessment, and online/community-based instruction.

Why I Teach at SPU

"I teach at SPU so I can help others attain their goals for teacher certification and enter the teaching profession. We desperately need effective and engaging teachers! I strongly believe that, together, we are able to positively impact student learning in today’s schools."
